@Staff
The fact that every time I post a comment indicating the blogger does not have a wordpress.com blog and needs to post to the wordpress.org support forums over the last days ends up in the spam filter is enough information to provide to Akismet Staff to fix this. Please do that.

No kidding. We have been here for years longer than most Staff have even been on Staff. It's obvious that we are not spammers. I've been using the same copy and paste for ages and so have you, so what exactly triggers a false positive now hmmmm... ?

Rest assured that we're not ignoring the issue, and we have developers looking into it (both the general spam issue and the spam filter one). From what I can gather, a permanent fix for this stuff is more complicated than it might appear, so it may not get fixed right away.

And I just found a new "feature" in the forum where two identical threads were created and the contents of one thread was copied to the other thread & both threads have the same title but show as two threads in the forum

Sad really. Day in, day out, around the clock for over 4 years. Always there to direct the misguided ORG user to the correct corner of the WP universe, sort of like, er, um, ok, sort of like a really useful forum volunteer, but without the added annoyance of being whacked.

Or is it just possible that the poor thing is in the dang sd^w filter and can't get itself out? Oh noes!
